Welcome to the Waltham Forest Bonsai Club

The club was founded in 1981 by Valerie Butcher & Edna Crutchlow. Club meetings are held once a month throughout the year and provide lectures, workshops and demonstrations on the art of Bonsai. These range from the very basics to more advanced techniques and therefore cater for all levels of experience. We are a very friendly and informal club and new members are always welcome. Members usually bring in trees for discussion and display at the club meetings, and by informal discussions with other more experienced growers much can be learnt that is often not covered in books. Various competitions and shows are held during the year. A comprehensive library is available of books, periodicals and videos on the subject of Bonsai. There are usually several outings during the year to Gardens, Bonsai Nurseries and Garden centres.
